The Centurion-Cinelli tie comes via Acer-Mex. The head frame builder at Acer-Mex was Remo Vecchi, an ex-Cinelli employee who simply replicated what he had been doing in Italy for over two decades. This is why the Windsor Profesional looks so much like a Cinelli. When Mitch Weiner was looking for a high end model for a high end model for his Centurion brand, he approached Acer-Mex, who built the very early Centurion Pros. When production was transferred to Miki in Japan, they simply continued the established frame aesthetics.
